Wallabies v Japan 25 Oct

[Wilson]

Does Swain come in to the squad

Might depend on how long Salakaia-Loto is out for but probably. There's a chance they'll just bring Skelton in and consider that enough, but probably only if Salakaia-Loto isn't too badly hurt.

 

[SteveWA]

Why they make CDC captain is bizzare, cheapening the Wallaby captaincy

or perhaps the coaching staff saw something and didn’t think it necessary to consult with you first?

He's played 72 mins of rugby, is 3rd choice in each positon in the backrow (maybe 4th) and has never captained professionally

It's the Wallabies not club

 

[Major Tom]

Someone needs to remind the wallabies this is a test match. Edmed with an aimless kick like it’s a training run

If you’re gonna kick, find grass in the wet.

 

[Dctarget]

Left of field choice would be Tom Staniforth.

 

[Spamnoodle]

Have you seen what the backs do when they get the ball?

You were saying?

 

[dillyboy]

Awesome try!

 

[dru]

Well. That's going to piss Eddie off. haha!

 

[Wilson]

That's more like it, great interplay between the backs and Flook is in the right place at the right time, as always.

 

[Major Tom]

Ahh see what happens when you don’t aimlessly kick it away

 

[Dctarget]

 

[Strewthcobber]

Hunter and Edmed show what they can do.

 

[rugbyAU]

nah they'd go Swain, Phillip, Uru, Blyth first

 

[Major Tom]

Flook gets labelled as not having enough speed for fullback but he looks quick enough to me

 

[dru]

I'd actually like to see Japan with a bit of ball. Drag the crowd in.

With that in mind, we should be a few points further ahead, no?

 

[Dctarget]

He brought that ball back in to the 22.

 

[Upthemaroon!]

Hunter and Edmed show what they can do.

To be fair, in those couple of minutes the Wallabies were on the Japanese try line Hunter did a pick and go but made a little stutter step instead of driving forwards. Mate you are there to do one job and that is to go straight. Besides that he is doing fine I think

 

[Wilson]

Huge clean out from Paisami

 

[rugbyAU]

Paisami has been fine

We should've made more of the yellow card period, but to be fair the injuries have been very disruptive for us
